How do i get it off the spline end?

I came to the same problem when i needed to get my PS assembly off, and ended up using a gear puller, worked pretty easy.

If you have an orielly auto parts store there they have a free loaner tool program. Just leave a deposit..

There is a tool/puller available at most auto supply stores, some parts houses have them for rent also.

Is the puller specific to pitman arms?

The one pictured is specifically designed for pitman arm removal, but there are some more universal designed one's out there that could be used for other jobs also.

Hey, just noticed you are only in Sherwood. Are you ever in the Portland area running errands, if you have your steering gear removed off of your truck, then drop in/come by and I will remove the pitman for you?

You can get one at harbor freight also. It does not have to be a snap on top-of-the-line tool, as you are only going to use it once.

That was my thought, I will probably use it maybe once again
